Copperband vs. Green Brain

[Z1313]

Well I have a little dilemma going on in my tank. I recently got a Copperband to eliminate my aptasia break out, which he did but I still have some in my overflows which is ver hard to get to btw : ) He has now decided that my huge Green Brain needs to be picked on! So I isolated the brain while I decide what to do. The Copperband is doing awesome but still not really taking prepared foods. I have a large refugium with plenty of food to go around. My thought is keep the brain isolated for a while try it again and really focus on finding another food source for the CB. I really don't want to get rid of either but if I do have to it would be the brain as I do not want to have another aphasia break out. Any thoughts or suggestions : )

You can throw the copperband in your sump and if the aptashia comes back, put him back in the DT.

The problem with sumping him is that he only eats aiptasia and forages the live rock. He was not eating anything else, good thing I have a large supply of pods. He will be better off finding a brain free home elsewhere : )

Scrape off all of your aiptasia in your overflow, sump and anyplace the copperband can't get to. Be aggressive the worst that will happen is the aiptasia makes it back to your display tank and the copperband will do the rest. In the future be careful using a difficult/expert fish to solve a problem.

Update: I returned the fat healthy CB to the store and the owner was cool enough to give only $5 less than I paid which in my opinion is awesome!
